This article is an introduction to 10 articles addressing the issue of what does the 500 years of Reformation mean for us today. Authors from different disciplines, within the context of South Africa, have given their reflections. They all affirm that the church is still an agent of change in South Africa. The article assesses the 10 articles on Protestant Reformation by placing them in the current global events of dialogue and agreements by the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutheran World Federation and World Communion of Reformed Churches.
